Me Love To Ramble

I am proud of you, Malaysia
regardless of how unfair the minorities are treated.
of how low the wages are.
of how bad the public transport is.

I am proud of you, Malaysia
not because you have one of the tallest building,
or having lots of stunning beaches,
I am proud of you,
because you gave all of us a home,
a home free of natural disaster, free of terrorists.
a home that always keep us safe and sound.

I believe one day, with your determination, Malaysia.
You will turn out well.
I wish you health, and more than wealth,
I wish you love.

Happy Merdeka!

Standing in front of me. Giving me that are you niki look.
Chris it is.
And that million dollar smile of his.
"Niki?"
I took some time to look up since I was busy folding my used dilbert planner.
" At a split second I thought it wasn't you." * million dollar smile*
" You look different." Of course I look different ,silly. The only two times you saw me was in that ugly maroon FSA uniform with my hair tied up.
I tried to start a friendly conversation although I feel kind of awkward to resist such charm
" So... You were in there? What class?"
Scratching his head," Oh, some really basic political science class. 100 level. What about you? You are social sciences major rite?"
" Communications. Social Psychology in this class. 300 level. I am a senior. *smiling back* So are you done for the day?"
" No. I got a class at er..*looking at his watch* 12.30. Biology. After taking this, I am done with my gen ed."
" That's good. Just bear with it for a while and you can take all those interesting subjects."
"Yeah..hehe..haha.."
To end the awkwardness, I just gotta stop the whole conversation.
" So I gotta go. * pointing to the class* Class in 10 mins. You should go too.See you around"
I slipped my dilbert planner into my bag and stood up.And walk away.
Before that I did looked back.
There he was, still.
And that million dollar smile of his. Waving.

I dunno what hell day is today.
First I cut myself in the second finger of my right hand...DEEP..too much blood was lost for a finger like that.
not long after that, I cut myself in the palm, on my left hand. Not too deep but deep enough for me to get a bandaid on.
I was too paiseh to get another bandaid for my palm.
So I just left it to bleed for a while.
Din tell anyone about the cut on my palm.
Too humiliating to shout about saying that you got cut two times DEEP in less than an hour.
I must bring back my long neglected cutting skills.

damn.

Now I am one weird freak with two colored bandaids on since the cut is too deep.
To make it look more funky, I decided to draw jeero's face on the plaster later.
=)

And oh yeah, there was this really cute Korean guy call Chris working in my unit.
Sweet.

Three more days to fall semester.
Was working like a dog throughout these months.

But there's something I gotta post because I find it so sweet.
I was on the line serving those really huge footballers.
The pancakes were nearly gone so i replace it with a new pan.
So there come two black macho footaballers.
The one in front took some from the old pan.
The one at the back waited for the new pan.
When he tried to grab some with the tong,
He squealed: " These pancakes are so soft that it could break my heart."

Sweet.

Another girl, I think she's a volleyball coach or something.
She saw the line serving bacon.
She was very happy and told me:
" You know what, (pointing to the bacon) this is the reason why I wake up every morning."

I really like the way they express themselves.

Did nothing progressive lately.
Went to the mall to return HS's cargo pants.
And exchanged it with a new one, smaller size, different color.
As Crabtree and Evelyn is on sale, I got in and got my handcream too.
Then I got something for my room.
A rose water room spray.
It smell princessy.
I think I should do something fun enough to give my last few days of 22nd years a kick.
Shit.

And oh yeah ladies, the crabtree and evelyn La source 60seconds hand repair really does work.
Try it.

It was my first ever interview for a job this morning.
I thought it was just a SA job, and I am only interviewing for a graphic designer post,
so I slipped into my white shirtm , my jeans and my camper wabi.
To present myself using powerpoint,
I also slipped my laptop into my kipling bag.
To prevent my bangs from blocking my view, I clipped my bangs.
I look rugged enough to be a senior artist, for gods sake.

I went there and other candidates were all in suits and shirts and heels.
I don't really care.
I believe that my works are good.
They will either like me or hate me.

A typical question was asked.
What strength and weaknesses do you see as a graphic artist?
I dunno where the hell I had the confidence and I just said:

" As a graphic artist, I am willing to take any risks to design my work so that it will look good and be the best.
And even if I created good adverts, everyone has their own likes, and they may not like mine. This take a little confidence off me.That is my weakness."

I think I shot it right.

Hope there will be good news by the end of this week.

Pan Meen used to be my favourite food when I was in KL.
Never had it since I came here.
Until today.
Yee Dar suggested that he will cook Pan Meen.
Ingredients include: mushroom, mince meat, garlic, chicken, flour, egg, anchovies, salt and sugar to taste.

First he made the dough.




HS flatten the dough and tear it into pieces.




Meanwhile, Yee Dar worked on the mince meat.




It looked and tasted good.




Some decided to sit there and play PS while waiting for food.




Yee Dar insisted, and I decided to be the first one to taste the meen.




After the first spoonful, I know I am definitely having this for my dinner too ^^

Went to TJ Maxx for the routine weekend shopping.
This time they have a lot of the weird italian brands that cost my ass.
And still cost half my ass even when they are selling at an outlet like TJ Maxx.

I fell in love with this tote.
Covered with rabbit hair.
It was love at a split second.
Excitedly, I look at the price tag.
Sadly, it cost 230 after a 50% cut.
Wanted to just splurge myself to such bag.
But HS said I should just wave bye bye to it.

Alrighty..I took a picture of me with it.

Wasn't feeling too well.
But was in the mood for baking a cake.
A double layered, cream cheese frosted, strawberry decorated, chocolate rice sprinkled, Betty Crocker's mix carrot cake.

Thus, here's the result.




Looks yummy. =D

Only if someone can make me such cake on my birthday.

Went BBQ yesterday with the whole lot.
I went swing.



That was the first time since centuries ago.

The food sucks.

But the chef had fun.




And I had fun too.
